Working with Known JSON Schemas - Lab

Here you'll get a little more practice working with JSON files before moving on to playing with APIs all on your own where you'll synthesize reading documentation, making get requests and then parsing JSON data.

Reading a JSON Schema

Here's the JSON schema provided for a section of the NY Times API:

or a fully expanded view:

You can see this yourself here: https://developer.nytimes.com/movie_reviews_v2.json#/Documentation/GET/critics/%7Bresource-type%7D.json

You can see that the master structure is a dictionary and has a key named 'response'. This is also a dictionary and has two keys: 'data' and 'meta'. As you continue to examine the schema hierarchy, you'll notice the vast majority in this case are dictionaries.

Loading the Data File

Start by importing the json file. The sample response from the api is stored in a file ny_times_movies.json

#Your code here

Loading Specific Data

Create a DataFrame of the major data container within the json file, listed under the 'results' heading in the schema above.

#Your code here

How many unique critics are there?

#Your code here

Create a new column for the review's url. Title the column 'review_url'

#Your code here

How many results are in the file?

#Your code here

Summary

Well done! Here you continued to gather practice extracting data from JSON files and transforming them into our standard tool of Pandas DataFrames.
